Separating mixtures mindmap and activity

 Dear students,

As we have reviewed how mixtures can be separated. Let´s try to create a mindmap!

• Depending on the properties of the components, what techniques can be used to separate mixtures?
• What is filtration? --> filtration video
• How does evaporation work? -->
• What can we separate using distillation and how?
• Can you draw a picture of each technique?
